One on one debates with Trump and think she’ll destroy him in the eyes of all but the insane morons who are his core followers.Insane morons and the very religious. My Missus is American, has a lot of friends over there, and the bible bashers are all of the opinion it was God who saved Trump when he got shot. In their mind, the good Lord wants him as President. I fear that will push him into power.
The shooter missed, "God" had nothing to do with it. If there was indeed a "God" watching over that rally with the power to manipulate the outcome, wouldn't he/she/they/it have ensured that no-one was harmed? Indeed, wouldn't that be the case for any fatal accidents/misfortune in general?
Ergo, I think it's OK for anyone who thinks that God saved Trump to be lumped in with the unhinged MAGA acolytes. Also, the ultra-evangelicals were already supporting Trump anyway before this - quite how they've come to regard him as a paragon of religious morals, when he's entirely the opposite and not the least bit genuinely religious himself, is entirely beyond me.
So long as Trump gives them nourishment with bigotry and any false claims they want to hear, they will follow his hypocritical cult as an "imperfect vessel" to deliver it to them.
I'd say the Devil looks after his own...
What do the Christian Pipe Smokers think?
